Arsenal defender Oleksander Zinchenko could reportedly be given the chance to join another Premier League in the current transfer window.<\/p>\n

Fulham<\/strong><\/a> have reportedly entered the race to sign Arsenal<\/strong><\/a> defender Oleksandr Zinchenko<\/strong><\/a> this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ukraine international is being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium after he struggled for regular game time last term.<\/p>\n

Zinchenko was restricted to just eight starts in 23 competitive appearances in the 2024-25 campaign, including just five starts in 15 Premier League matches.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old has seemingly found himself behind the likes of Riccardo Calafiori<\/strong><\/a> and Myles Lewis-Skelly<\/strong><\/a> in the battle for Arsenal’s left-back spot.<\/p>\n

While he can also play in midfield, Zinchenko’s useful versatility is unlikely to be enough to keep him at the North London club.<\/p>\n

\"Arsenal's<\/p>\n

Fulham join Zinchenko race<\/p>\n

Arsenal are seemingly keen to offload Zinchenko this summer, especially as he is set to enter the final 12 months of his contract.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, it was reported<\/a><\/strong> that AC Milan<\/strong><\/a> have held talks with Arsenal over a move for Zinchenko, as the Italian side look to replace outgoing left-back Theo Hernandez<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to The Sun<\/a>, Fulham are emerging as another option for Zinchenko, with Marco Silva<\/strong><\/a> keen to bring the Arsenal man to Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are said to value Zinchenko at \u00a312.7m, but Fulham are confident they could strike a deal for around \u00a310m.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report also claims that the Ukrainian is attracting interest from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund<\/strong><\/a> and Dutch giants Ajax<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Fulham<\/p>\n

Why are Fulham targeting Zinchenko?<\/p>\n

On the face of it, Fulham are in greater need of a right-back than they are a left-back, with Kenny Tete<\/strong><\/a> set to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

However, the Cottagers are said to be open to deploying Zinchenko in the middle of the park as well as a left-sided defender.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, he could provide cover for Fulham’s first-choice left-back Antonee Robinson<\/strong><\/a>, and compete for a starting spot in central midfield with the likes of Harrison Reed<\/strong><\/a>, Sasa Lukic<\/strong><\/a>, Josh King and Tom Cairney<\/strong><\/a>, as long as the latter signs a new deal to extend his stay at Craven Cottage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zinchenko is understood to be settled in the English capital, so a move to Fulham could appeal to the former Manchester City defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n
